Outstanding experience at this store. Came in looking for a lightbulb to replace my brake light and ended up getting wiperblades to due to the great customer service. When you go ask for Kirk. He is truly great

I rarely find myself in an auto parts store but today a needed a windshield decal scraper. Jake found me a Permatex scraper with interchangeable plastic blades and some Goof Off adhesive remover. Just the ticket:)

I went to get a new battery today and Casey helped me out at the register. He was upfront with the options for my 4Runner and got me squared away. He replaced the battery and cleaned off the corrosion from my old one and even took the old one to be recycled. Will definitely go back next time I need anything for my car!

I had an amazing experience thanks to Louis and Kerk. They went above and beyond to help me with my car headlights. Not only did they make sure I had the right bulbs, but they also patiently guided me step by step on how to install them myself. That kind of support is rare, and it gave me confidence to handle it on my own in the future. What impressed me even more was their dedication they stayed after hours just to make sure everything was done right and I was taken care of. Their professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile truly set them apart. If you ever need help with your car, I highly recommend this advanced auto parts location. Ask for Louis and Kerk they’ll take great care of you!

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
